Indonesian President Joko Widodo is set to unveil new ministerial appointments, including positions for energy and investment, in a significant cabinet reorganization on Monday.

This reshuffle marks the final months of Widodo's administration, with President-elect Prabowo Subianto preparing to take office in October after winning the February election. Presidential palace official Ari Dwipayana confirmed the upcoming announcements.

Local media outlets suggest that current investment minister Bahlil Lahadalia will become the new energy minister. His current post is expected to be filled by Rosan Roeslani, the former Ambassador to the United States and head of Prabowo's election campaign. Additionally, reports indicate Dadan Hindayana will head the new National Nutrition Agency, executing Prabowo's policy to provide healthy meals to over 80 million school children.
